The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is calling on President Biden to intervene in the ongoing labor negotiations between the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) at West Coast ports. 美国商会呼吁拜登总统介入太平洋海事协会(PMA)和国际码头和仓库工会(ILWU)在西海岸港口正在进行的劳资谈判。

In a letter to sent to President Biden by Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Suzanne Clark, she emphasized the urgent need for Biden Administration to appoint an independent mediator to facilitate an agreement between the two sides. 在一封由美国商会主席兼首席执行官苏珊娜·克拉克(Suzanne Clark)致拜登总统的信中,她强调拜登政府迫切需要任命一名独立调解人,以促进双方达成协议。

“With continued and potentially expanded service disruptions at these ports heading into peak shipping season, we urge your Administration to intervene immediately and appoint an independent mediator to help the two parties reach an agreement that prevents significant economic harm to American families and the economy,” the letter states. “随着这些港口的服务中断持续并可能扩大,进入航运旺季,我们敦促您的政府立即进行干预,并任命一名独立调解人,帮助双方达成协议,防止对美国家庭和经济造成重大经济损害,”信中写道。

Negotiations between the ILWU and the PMA began in May 2022. After initial progress on healthcare and other benefits, progress slowed towards the end of the year. Tensions escalated in March 2023 when ILWU members at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach halted staggered lunch breaks. The Chamber of Commerce says this action effectively shut down the ports for an additional two hours each day, causing significant delays and backups. ILWU和PMA之间的谈判始于2022年5月。在医疗保健和其他福利方面取得初步进展后,到年底进展放缓。2023年3月,当洛杉矶和长滩港口的ILWU成员停止交错午休时,紧张局势升级。美国商会表示,这一行动实际上使港口每天多关闭两个小时,造成了严重的延误和拥堵。

Additional disruptions came in April when ILWU Local 13 in Southern California withheld workers in protest of the lack of progress in negotiations, resulting in the shutdown of the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The situation reached a critical point earlier this month when multiple West Coast ports experienced complete shutdowns due to worker no-shows. 今年4月,南加州工会13分会(ILWU Local 13)扣留工人以抗议谈判缺乏进展,导致洛杉矶和长滩港口关闭。本月早些时候,由于工人旷工,西海岸多个港口完全停工,情况达到了临界点。

The Chamber of Commerce noted potentially significant long-term consequences of these disruptions as shippers increasingly divert cargoes to East and Gulf coast ports, indicating a lack of confidence in the West Coast ports. There’s increasing concern that these diversions, which began last year as a precaution against labor disruptions, are now becoming a more permanent trend. 美国商会指出,随着托运人越来越多地将货物转移到东海岸和墨西哥湾沿岸港口,这些中断可能会产生严重的长期后果,这表明人们对西海岸港口缺乏信心。人们越来越担心,这些从去年开始作为预防劳动力中断的转移,现在正成为一种更持久的趋势。

“A serious work stoppage at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach would likely cost the U.S. economy nearly half a billion dollars a day – and a more widespread strike along the West Coast could cost approximately $1 billion per day, using the cost estimates of the Bush Administration in 2002,” the letter states. “The economic costs of a dispute that results in a port closure would be devastating to consumers and businesses, which are already enduring historically high levels of inflation. Simply put, the easiest way to return to the West Coast port crisis of 2020-2021 is if this situation is not resolved as soon as possible.” 信中写道:“洛杉矶和长滩港口的严重停工可能会使美国经济每天损失近5亿美元,而根据布什政府2002年的成本估算,西海岸更广泛的罢工可能会使美国经济每天损失约10亿美元。”“导致港口关闭的争端的经济成本对消费者和企业来说将是毁灭性的,这些消费者和企业已经承受了历史上最高的通货膨胀水平。简而言之,如果不尽快解决这种情况,最容易回到2020年至2021年的西海岸港口危机。”
